And my latest Instant Pot creation that I can’t get enough of?
Instant Pot Burrito Bowls.
If you are anything like me, you love burritos but hate that “carb overload” feeling that can accompany eating that giant flour tortilla that is part of the burrito territory.
I started racking my brain trying to think of a way to keep that burrito flavor that I’ve grown to crave and love, but lose that tortilla aspect altogether.
And once again, my Instant Pot came through!
Not only does this Instant Pot Burrito Bowl taste EXACTLY like a burrito, I honestly don’t miss not having the tortilla at all!
In fact, I actually prefer it this way more!
I love the fact that if I want to add a bit of crunch, the tortilla chips give the option for a fun and much-needed texture.
Plus, the flavors are spot on.
If you are looking for an awesome way to get that burrito flavor without the guilt, this Instant Pot Burrito Bowl recipe is exactly what you need!
BURRITO BOWL INGREDIENTS
● GROUND BEEF: 1 pound of ground beef or ground turkey.
● ONION: 1 yellow onion.
● TACO SEASONING: 1 packet of your favorite taco seasoning.
● BLACK BEANS: 1 (15 oz.) can of black beans.
● CORN: 1 (15 oz.) can corn.
● SALSA: 1 (16 oz.) jar of medium or hot salsa, depending on how spicy you like things.
● BROWN RICE: 1 cup of brown rice or jasmine rice.
● CHICKEN BROTH: 1 1/2 cups of low sodium chicken broth.
● SHREDDED CHEESE: sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
● TOMATOES: 1 or 2 tomatoes for topping.
● AVOCADO: 1 or 2 avocados for topping.
● TORTILLA CHIPS: I love adding tortilla chips or Doritos to my burrito bowls.
● SOUR CREAM: And it wouldn’t be a burrito bowl without finishing it off with a dollop of sour cream.
HOW TO MAKE BURRITO BOWLS IN THE INSTANT POT
STEP 1: Press the “Saute” button, and add the oil.
STEP 2: Once the oil is hot, add in the ground beef and cook until the ground beef is brown. Drain any excess fat.
STEP 3: Add in the diced onions and cook for 1-2 minutes.
STEP 4: Add taco seasoning, and 1 cup of the chicken broth. Stir and simmer for 1 minute.
STEP 5: Stir in the beans, corn, and salsa; stir until combined.
STEP 6: Add the rice on top of the mixture, but DO NOT STIR.
STEP 7: Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth over the rice.
STEP 8: Cover the pot and make sure the vent on the top of the cover is set to “Sealing”. Press the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” button on HIGH pressure for 15 minutes. Close and lock the lid. It should take the pressure cooker about 10 to 12 minutes to come to pressure and begin the 15-minute countdown. When cooking time is complete, do a quick release of the pressure.
STEP 9: Stir everything together. Serve with shredded cheese, tomatoes, avocado slices, tortilla chips, and sour cream.
ADDITIONAL BAKING TIPS
CHICKEN OR GROUND BEEF: I used ground beef to make these burrito bowls but I’ve also used chicken breasts. I use about 1 pound of boneless chicken breasts.
BURRITO BOWL TOPPINGS: Top with sliced avocado, tomatoes, tortilla chips, and sour cream.
PERFECT MAKE-AHEAD RECIPE: I love making this on a Sunday and putting it separate containers for lunch all week long.
KITCHEN TOOLS NEEDED
INSTANT POT: I have this Instant Pot, it’s a 6 quart and perfect for my husband and I. If you have a bigger family or if you are always hosting parties, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the 8 quart Instant Pot.
BOWLS: These are my favorite bowls, we use them for everything.

Hi!
Would I be able to double the recipe and use the same cooking time?
This is one of our family favourites and I’d like to make it for camping with a large group.
I just made this for my kiddos to take to work for lunch. It is delicious!! I used ground dark meat turkey and hot salsa the only thing I omitted were the onions because they don’t like them. Still just delicious especially eaten on a chip!
